Sad news this afternoon: Well-known music lawyer Peter Lopez has been found dead at the Encino home he shares with actress wife Catherine Bach.
Police were called to the home today after a gunshot was heard.
"LAPD is on the scene," department spokesman Lt. John Romero told E! Online. "We're still in the early stages of the investigation, but what we gather is it's an apparent suicide."
Lopez, 60, has represented members of the Eagles and Michael Jackson, among others, and served as a producer on the Jennifer Lopez film "Selena." He's a name partner at Century City's Kleinberg Lopez Lange Cuddy & Klein, which declined comment on Lopez.
